Hello friendsI am 8 months after double transplant..Liver and Kidney. I too would like to get a tattoo. my doctors do not have an answer for me. They just laugh and say On the safe side don"t do it. That is not what I want to hear ya know? So I figure I will wait a year out ,take my antibiotic ( like when I go to the Dent.) and go get one. My anti rejection traugh is where the docs want it and I have not been sick not even a cold. Which is a good thing. I wish I had the answer. We will just hang in there and sometime one of our docs. will have the answer.View Thread

to:Transplants and Mood DisordersIt seems by your post that you are 2 or 3 months out from transplant? I am 8 months out from double transplant- liver and kidney. I know exactly how you are feeling. The prednisone was driving me nuts. I had to take it for 6 months.I feel a lot better now! Also I was taking prograft and that was not working .So my Dr. changed my anti rejection meds are neoral and myfortic and they are doing fine. I am not a physian and please do not think I am prescribing meds. I am just telling you what is working for me. Also my dr. had the forsite to put me on anti depresents before I left the hospital.That helps a great deal! Please hang in there and it will get better. You will get better.View Thread
